Air India Revises International Flight Schedule Through August 2026

Air India International Network Adjustments Across Key Global Routes

Air India has announced temporary changes to its international flight schedule for June and August 2026, citing continued airspace restrictions in certain regions and higher jet fuel costs that are impacting international operations.

The airline said the adjustments are intended to improve network stability and minimise last-minute disruptions for passengers.

Despite the revisions, Air India will continue operating more than 1,200 international flights every month across five continents. The airline’s international network during this period will include 33 weekly flights to North America, 47 weekly flights to Europe, 57 weekly flights to the UK, eight weekly flights to Australia, 158 weekly flights across the Far East, Southeast Asia, and SAARC regions, and seven weekly flights to Mauritius.

Passengers affected by the schedule changes will be offered alternative Air India flights where available, complimentary date changes, or full refunds, depending on eligibility. The airline said customer support will continue through its 24×7 contact centre and digital platforms.
